Only venues with papers since 2020 are listed. A venue ranked by both catalogues, or filed under several fields, is one entry: ticking any copy ticks them all. Rank labels are the catalogues', not a quality judgement.
2Publication requirement
at least papers as first author in the recent years
at least papers as any author in the recent years
“Recent k years” means papers dated 2026−k+1 or later; 2026 is incomplete in the snapshot and a few journals already date papers 2027. First author = first-listed, not corresponding.

Experts by research domain — the database's own venue-derived domains; a paper can belong to several; active = at least one paper since 2021

Experts by expertise

The expertise taxonomy: 90,661 topics extracted from 634,694 papers of 537,692 experts, organised under the ten CCF categories and 168 areas. Pick a category, then narrow down to a topic; every level lists its experts by weight.
Interdisciplinary, comprehensive, and emerging computing›Bioinformatics and computational biology›sequence analysis›sequence visualization topic 11 papers · 37 experts · broader topic added to organise its sub-topics
Sub-topics 5 · with their number of papers; shaded topics divide further
Experts on sequence visualization 37 · by weight: papers on the topic counted with recency (1 for a paper about it, 0.3 as context, halved every five years)
